5. DMFT + electronic structure method Effective (DFT-like) single particle Spectrum consists of delta like peaks Spectral density usually contains renormalized quasiparticles and Hubbard bands Basic idea of DMFT: reduce the quantum many body problem to a one site or a cluster of sites problem, in a medium of non interacting electrons obeying a self-consistency condition. (A. Georges et al., RMP 68, 13 (1996)). DMFT in the language of functionals: DMFT sums up all local diagrams in BK functional Basic idea of DMFT+electronic structure method (LDA or GW): For less correlated bands (s,p): use LDA or GW For correlated bands (f or d): with DMFT add all local diagrams
